What Does it Mean to be Thankful?
by Goldie Zietz
What does it mean to be Thankful?
The dictionary tells us that the word Thankful means: "conscious of benefit received; a grateful heart. "
What does the scriptures say about being Thankful? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
When we find ourselves overwhelmed with burdens and worried about tomorrow, we can praise God for who He is and His promise to never leave us or forsake us. We have been blessed with the free gift of salvation and eternal life!
I want to Thank HaShem for Loving us so much that He sent Yeshua His Son to give us eternal Life, and I want to thank Yeshua our Lord and Savior for saying "Yes Abba, I will do all you ask of me!"
He knew what it would take to save man from there sins, and in His obedience and Love for HaShem His Father, and for us, He suffered and died.
I am thankful of the love that was poured on the cross,
God drawing me to His Son,
For all miracles,
All God ideas,
All supernatural experiences,
God appointments,
All prayers, family, friends, jobs, intercessors,
All that God creates.
God, Make me an instrument for Your Kingdom. Keep me on the straight and narrow path, that I may continue to see Wondrous things from Your Torah. (Psalm 119:18)
